WILLIAM GHOLSTON NEWS

Nabs first sack of season Gholston posted three tackles (one solo), including 1.0 sacks, and recorded an additional quarterback hit in the Buccaneers' 51-27 win over the Saints on Sunday.

Impact The veteran defensive lineman recorded one of five sacks on rookie Spencer Rattler in his first NFL start. Gholston logged under 20 defensive snaps for the third straight game, however, and given he's never been known for his pass-rushing prowess, the 12-year veteran is far from a reliable IDP option at this stage of his career.

Back with Tampa Gholston re-signed with the Buccaneers on Monday, Jenna Laine of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Gholston will remain in Tampa Bay in 2024, for what will be his 12th season in the league. The 32-year-old played a career-low 234 snaps on defense last season, recording zero sacks for the second consecutive year, although he did log his first career interception. He'll likely remain a depth edge on the edges for the Buccaneers in 2024.

Unusual surge continues Gholston recorded three tackles (two solo), including 2.5 sacks, and was credited with three total quarterback hits during the Buccaneers' 32-6 win over the Panthers in Week 16.

Impact Gholston blasted through his previous career high of three sacks in remarkable fashion, posting the first multi-sack effort of his career. The veteran defensive lineman also has a pair of six-stop tallies in the last four games, rendering him an unlikely late-season IDP asset.

DECEMBER 29, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Atypically high tackle total Gholston totaled six tackles (five solo), including one for loss, in the Buccaneers' 9-0 loss to the Saints on Sunday night.

Impact The veteran usually generates modest tackle totals, but Gholston now has accrued six stops in two of his last three contests. The 30-year-old is still off the radar in the overwhelming majority of IDP formats, however, as he usually offers minimal production outside of a handful of stops per contest.

Active in Week 14 Gholston (knee) is active for Sunday's game against the Bills, Jenna Laine of ESPN.com reports.

Impact The veteran defensive tackle was listed as questionable heading into the weekend, but he'll suit up Sunday against the Bills. Gholston is coming off his most active game of the season on the tackle front, as he logged six stops (five solo) against the Falcons in the Week 13 win.

DECEMBER 12, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Likely game-time decision Gholston (knee) is questionable for Sunday's contest against the Bills.

Impact Gholston was a limited participant in back-to-back practices to end the week and is officially questionable heading into the weekend. If he is unable to suit up, then Steve McLendon and Patrick O'Connor are both candidates for increased roles.

Dealing with leg injury Gholston suffered a right leg injury during Sunday's 30-17 win over the Falcons, Greg Auman of The Athletic reports.

Impact Gholston recorded five tackles (four solo) during the contest, but he wasn't able to bend his right knee when he walked off the field after the game. It's unclear how serious the injury is, but his status will be worth monitoring ahead of Week 14.

Disruptive in Week 4 win Gholston recorded four solo tackles, including one sack, and was credited with three quarterback hits overall in the Buccaneers' 19-17 win over the Patriots on Sunday night.

Impact The veteran lineman now has sacks in back-to-back games, a rarity for a player who's never recorded more than three in any of his previous eight seasons. Gholston has multiple stops in three consecutive contests as well, with his early-season play particularly encouraging considering he's in his age-30 campaign. Despite the current surge, Gholston's typically low tackle numbers and sparse complementary stats keep him off the IDP radar.
